Chap2
The warrior jerked Kia away from the awful scene.
"I said keep walking," she breathed through clenched teeth. Kia ripped out of the elf's grip. She didn't feel so safe or at ease with her surroundings anymore.
"No! Im not going to keep walking! What is wrong with you? Did you not see that poor child just get murdered? Have you no heart?" she screamed through the tears in her eyes. She backed off a few steps, breathing heavily.
"This is our land. What activities are participated in here has no concern with you. And I already told you I cannot talk to you before you are deemed trusted! I don't know why I should even bother bringing you in front of the Tribunal. Your kind is not worthy of the dirt they walked on, let alone their presence."
"My kind! What is that supposed to mean you savage! At least my kind has the heart not to slaughter young children! You make me sick," she screamed.
"Watch yourself human!" she said and reached for a sleek silver knife at her hip. "Call me a savage again and you wont have a tongue to speak with."
"Try me scrawny wench!" she spat at the elve's feet, and in a flash the knife was pressed against Kia's neck. The warrior pulled her hair back to more expose Kia's throbbing jugular.
"You are young and foolish. Know who you are dealing with before challenging them." She whispered into her ear while applying more pressure to her neck. Just as a single drop of blood slid along the length of the blade a cloaked figure appeared ahead of the pair.
"Krie! Drop your weapon!" the figure said with authority. Both girls turned to see an imposing older man standing with a large walingstick. The elf, named Krie supposedly, did not drop her weapon. The man thrust the stick in her direction and the knife went flying out of her grasp. The stick wasn't a stick, it was some sort of magic staff. "You know the customs Krie, there is no excuse for your actions. The Tribunal will be hearing of this." Her eyes widened an she ran off. The man, or wizard, or warlock, or whatever he was turned to Kia. "Sorry about that, she isn't exactly a little angel. Please, come this way, all will become clear to you shortly, I know you must be confused, but you must trust in me." Kia weighed her options, and she only had one, so she followed.
